Migrate app under Vista advise ???

[serge calderara]

Dear all,

We have one product runing under windows 2000 . This product is based on
different VB5 executable accessing local access database.
In addition we there are able to send data over network using socket with TCP.

MOving to vista is one of our preoccupation.
In order to limit the developepement upgrade time or redo all things,
accrording to you :

Does VB5 executable running under 2000 will continue to work ?
Does old style DAO- ADO - ODBC is still supported or need to be changed ?

thnaks for your advise
regards
serge

Mostly yes, but depends on you app.
If u are not harnessed into some kind of security/systems plays, because
security features were changes a bit
along with systems (for example services can't interact with desktop, no
ui in the winsta0 and etc)

scDoes old style DAO- ADO - ODBC is still supported or need to be
scchanged ?

nope, it works fine

the best approach is to install vista (beta2 is free) and report us about
your porting

I've installed the beta in VMWare on a P4 2Ghz with only 512MB RAM. I
have to assign at least 350MB to the virtual machine, but then it works
fine. Granted, it isn't fast, but it's not extremely slow either.

VMWare is free nowadays.
